Blind psychic who predicted 9/11 attacks claimed Russia's Vladimir Putin would take over world

A blind psychic, who correctly predicted the dreadful 9/11 terror attacks, once claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would become the “lord of the world”.

Baba Vanga, a Bulgarian clairvoyant, made a string of predictions about the future of the world before her death at the age of 85 in 1996.

She has often been referred to as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans” with reports suggesting that her predictions were right around 85 per cent of the time.

Concerns are growing that many of her grim predictions are now coming to fruition.

A scary prediction she made in 1979 has recently remerged as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.

It was then that Vanga claimed that Russia would become the “lord of the world” after Europe became a “wasteland”, the Irish Mirror reports.

At that time, she said: “All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched - Vladimir’s glory, glory of Russia.

“Too much it is brought in a victim. Nobody can stop Russia.”

Vanga added: “All will be removed by her from the way and not only will be kept, but also becomes lord of the world.”

Additionally, she has also made a chilling prophecy about the use of nuclear weapons and World War 3.

Vanga, who was born Vangelia Gushterova, believed that she had the ability to force the future after being picked up a freak tornado as a child.

It is claimed that she made hundreds of predictions during her career, which spanned half a decade.

Other predictions she has made included the rise of ISIS and the fall of the twin towers.

Specialists have calculated that only 68 per cent of her predictions have come to pass - which is much less than the 85 per cent put forward by her closest followers.
